Wii Fire Emblem Shuns Gimmickry For Control Options

Look. Fire Emblem isn't going to sell Wiis to housewives, girlfriends and granddads. We all know it's going to sell to Fire Emblem fans and only to Fire Emblem fans. That's why no Wiimote waving gimmickry is required to control it and how Nintendo will get away with letting players control the turn-based strategy RPG however they damn well please.

Want to go classic? Turn the Wii-mote sideways. Want to justify the pricepoint of your Wii Classic Controller? Plug it in (for once)! Masochist? Thanks to lovable developer Intelligent Systems, you can even use your Gamecube controller.

Now you're playing Fire Emblem with power!
